2nd Movement Building working group meeting, 6th June 12-1pm

We have had the first Movement Building meeting, now it’s time to head face on strategy, planning and projects. What should the Movement Building group be priortising as it is formed? How can we ramp up supporters and worker co-ops’ engagement? And how should we build alliances with the breadth of voices in the room?

We already have potential project groups (sub-groups of the Movement Building group) for: Co-op Fortnight, Worker Co-op Weekend 2025, Autumn Assembly, Communications working group, Co-ops and Anti-Racism and International working group.

Reminder- Background
